Eligibility

Any project participant (architects, designers, contractors, materials suppliers) may submit projects completed before April 1, 2008. Hanley Wood employees, their relatives, and regular contributors to the magazine are not eligible.

Does my project have to contain concrete? Yes. Projects must use a significant amount of concrete or concrete products. (Any product specified as CSI Div.3, Div. 042200 or 047200)

Does the sustainable aspect of my project have to relate to concrete or concrete products? No. Concrete or concrete products must be a significant part of the project, but the sustainable element is not limited to the materials involved.

Both standards cover similar grounds, such as site sustainability, energy efficiency, water efficiency, resource efficiency, and indoor environmental quality. They have four possible levels of certification, require third-party certification, and have a minimum amount of points that builders must attain in each section. Different builders may adopt either of these standards.
